Dechristo Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 "We probably could have saved ourselves, but we were too damned lazy to try very hard ... and too damn cheap," he once suggested carving into a wall on the Grand Canyon, as a message for flying-saucer creatures.

jordop Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Q: So is this really the final book? Timequake was supposed to be your farewell, and then Dr. Kevorkian came along. VONNEGUT: I don't fucking know. I keep thinking I'll die. Why do you think I smoke so much? Q: How many packs are you up to a day? VONNEGUT: Never mind. It's none of your fucking business. Fuck off—you know what I'm saying? Q: You were one of the few people to walk out of Dresden. Now, some fifty years later, you're among the last men standing. Vonnegut: Every so often I run into someone on the street who announces to me that they are really a survivor. I mean, who the fuck isn't? If you're not dead, you're a survivor. [Laughs] Q: When I was reading Dr. Kevorkian, I was reminded a bit of a Japanese film from a couple years ago called "Afterlife." Vonnegut: I haven't heard of it. Q: It's premise is that those who have recently died are taken to a waiting room for one week, during which time they must choose only a single memory from their entire lives which will endlessly replay for them, while all of their other memories are erased. Vonnegut: So everybody's fucking, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
